"As one knows the poet by his fine music, so one can
recognise the liar by his rich rhythmic utterance, and in neither case will the
casual inspiration of the moment suffice. Here, as elsewhere, practice must
precede perfection."Oscar Wilde (18541900), Anglo-Irish playwright, author. Vivian, in
"The Decay of Lying" (published in Intentions, 1891).

As soon as our site was first posted, anti-Masons appeared on the
alt.freemasonry newsgroup under false
identities, begging and/or demanding a listing here. For some, it would seem,
the measure of 'success' in their lives of hate, disruption and deceit is recognition on this web site.
It seemed bizarre to us because those who were demanding they be 'memorialized' were posting from 'anonymous' mailing addresses and their
real names were unknown.

Some of these anti-Masons even issue taunts: "Bet you don't dare to list
me....", they'll write. For what purpose do they want some secret identity
to be listed? How can they brag to their friends: "See? That's me!"
when there's no way to prove the fact? It just seems
SO immature but then again, that's often the way so very much of anti-Masonry
appears to the rational individual. There have also been
those who've even pretended to be Masons and there are others who
apparently feel they've accomplished something in life if they can cause someone
else to be upset.

We ultimately decided to list a short 'rogue's
gallery' consisting of the online identities who've been particularly noxious or
disruptive online. The list is long but there are only a handful of actual
persons represented below: it's a common tactic of anti-Masons to 'change nicks'
when they're 'spotted'. While this list does not include the dozens and dozens of
identities
directly attributed to Ken Mitchell (which you can find here),
we felt it was only fair to give these poor souls the recognition they so desperately
crave - listing of their 'secret identity' on the internet. Their parents must
be SO proud!

Masons through their fraternal and service efforts
will be remembered in a much better way and for a far longer period!

Here they are:

anonymous, nobody, Jean
Charles André Quintal, David B. Cooper, prankerd, paghat, lunatic (Lunatic Alcoholic Psycho), Thug4Life,
Kidney John, Irish Rover, David A. Brown (DB), oned4u, John C. Holmes, Astaldo Megillian, Church Lady,
ryb, TSUN, Goma oyan, Lilly, KildaJuice, nomason, MI, wildwings, Cyber-Fish, Mortal
Truth, A N Other, Raymond DiOrio, Prince Hall Muslim, airborne, masonictruth (in a despicable
attempt to confuse with another poster, a true and wonderfully gentle man, Manny
Blanco who uses Mason Truth), Mason Strange, LPPCQ Snarky, Ed Jacobs, Mike Croley, frater
sapientiae, Fall of America, Mars,
Banana, Rev.
Juust Out, Johnny Flowerpotman, nucleus, Librarian, Fred, Numbre
Treize, and more to
come as these individuals waste more of their precious life's time. Those
listed in Red have been identified as various onscreen identities of a John
Birkinshaw, an individual who has been described as VERY heavily into
'pot'. Mr. Birkinshaw spends countless hours pouring out drivel and regularly
creates identities to argue with each other in a way to sucker the unwitting
into conversations with him.

And we can't but take special notice of a
particularly odious troll who appeared on alt.freemasonry in March, 2001 signing his
posts as Paul S. Kennedy, M.M., Grand Lodge of California. This individual,
whose behavior was eerily
similar to a couple of those pseudonyms above (particularly Thug4Life and John
C. Holmes) claimed to be a "Special Investigator" for the Grand Lodge
of California announcing on the internet that a much beloved member of that
newsgroup (Manny Blanco) had been suspended for morals violations. Needless to say, it was a
pitiful and hurtful fraud done - as the poster subsequently wrote - just to see how many
people would respond to the message.
To what depths will anti-Masons sink?
Libeling a good and upright man with horrific charges using a hidden identity just
because 'Mason-bashing' was sport.... It's disgusting - but it's the type of
thing one finds everyday amongst anti-Masons!

Continuing
in our tiny type - since little type is all the attention these social misfits
and outcasts warrant - we also take note of Gennady Kalmykov also known as "Librarian"
also known as "Nukleus"
or "Nucleus" who also posts as "Librarian" and has
also posted as Acharya Veeren and "Bloxy's". This
particularly insufferable nuisance loves playing the part of 'internet bad boy'
and does everything he can to foster that image. At one point, he fancied
himself as a particularly important figure in the techno-music world using his
insults and raucous behavior to compensate for his shortcomings. In his early
usenet postings, he blathered on about bio-robots using the term only, it
seemed, as an insult. Nevertheless, it seems that at some point he thought he had been denied access to a
Usenet discussion group on artificial intelligence. From then on, he tried to
prove that everyone in the Usenet management hierarchy was ‘out to get him’
and even now, several years later, continues rants about particular individuals as if
he’d been challenged by them just yesterday. His reaction to this imagined
slight was a determination to wreak vengeance in the only way he could: post so
much and so frequently that he simply could not be ignored or dismissed. Under the identity of “Bloxy’s”, but sometimes using a variety
of other pseudonyms as well, his modus operandi moved from simply ranting about
perceived injustices he had suffered on Usenet to acerbic and relentless ranting about US politics and imagined
conspiracies.

We believe that this individual lives currently in
California although we, frankly, could care less. He was, apparently, from the
Ukraine and manages some sort of online accessibility through there. Perhaps he
has returned? Who cares.... Having failed to achieve notice from his insufferable
rants about techno-music and about usenet policies, he has of late resorted to
endless fuming about the
actions/activities of US President, George W. Bush. His language is sometimes
pointedly stilted to enhance the assumption about his physical location and he
will sometimes make references to Eastern Europe as well. Is it a ruse? More to
the point: does anybody actually care?! Obviously, it seems a tad incongruous that someone in the Ukraine would
vent so much energy (all wasted) prattling on about U.S. politics and comparing the
President to Hitler through many ‘attributions’ to “Adolph Bush”.
Such, though, is the stupidity of some that they can’t fully appreciate their own
impotence! Even in conspiracy newsgroups where the most absolutely bizarre claims are
seized upon and gnawed
over, his diatribes are totally ignored save the sporadic profanity
posted in response.

In the past, this individual
seemed to simply include the alt.freemasonry newsgroup in his
‘carpet bombing’ messages. There were even times when his rants about a
“Russ” involved in the Usenet hierarchy were confused with an intermittent
alt.freemasonry poster whose name is also “Russ”. On alt.freemasonry,
however, where
the most egregiously ridiculous claims are commonplace, some individuals
(including this website’s author) patiently took the time to sort through the massive
amounts of rant to provide disclaimers to the cut and
paste charges against the fraternity. After a couple of years of mostly ignoring
responses to his drivel, he apparently became SO desperate for any small crumb of
attention, he hurled himself into a frenzied attack on the newsgroup and its
regular members. Cutting paragraphs
out of posts, some from months earlier, he’d repost them with pithy (and
sometimes totally incongruous) comments inserted. His commentary, observed in
single instances and from a distance, presented the appearance of a detached
commentator when, in reality, it was simply more frothing from someone whose
world-view is so horribly skewed and with a need for attention so enormous, that he
will write anything to anyone as long as they pay attention to him. And thus it
continues: dozens upon dozens of huge messages posted weekly. Political
diatribes, interspersed with alt.freemasonry posts from months earlier, all
pulled from a ‘library’ of raving he has created and repeats regularly. His
most common game is to now include large chunks of the anti-Semitic Protocols
of the Elders of Zion and, based on secondary comments made by him
occasionally, it would appear that anti-Semitism is, in fact, something he
supports vigorously. Much of his material has been refuted in responses to
messages and all of the rest is refuted on this website. Despite this, he labors
on, clearly finding enjoyment in the disruption of others' lives. It’s too
bad, really, that someone who was once so seemingly interested in artificial
intelligence and whose skills, whatever they might be, could have been used for
the benefit of mankind, has become a caricature of a joke.

Mason Ron Boutwell, one of the earliest alt.freemasonry newsgroup
participants, decided to "have some fun" with this particular nuisance and
forged a number of his posts - with contents exactly opposite what might
be expected. By writing apologies for bad behavior, admissions of stupidity and the
like, Ron succeeded
in agitating this troll into even more of a frenzy. If you find a post from "Nukleus"
or "Librarian" apologizing for his egregious behavior,
you can rest assured that it was only Ron confusing and obfuscating the matter. We've been outspoken in our criticism of these
tactics but Ron has
disagreed strongly with our position and feels that it is just 'harmless fun'.
Either way, "Librarian"
remains an anti-Semitic and apparently very hate-filled individual desperately
seeking attention. February 27, 2004. Updated May
13, 2004 with Mr. Kalmykov's name included. Altered a bit 11
January 2006.

And MORE silly games: one of the above "identities" pretended to be a Mason and loudly proclaimed that if
s/he received recognition on this web site, they'd 'reveal' their "Masonic
credentials". It was, of course, impossible: those who lie about
Masonry and/or their connections to it are frauds.
Nevertheless, we called their bluff and listed them here a couple of years ago.
Predictably, immediately after the posting of this page, the person
who claimed to be a Mason and the founder of a fictitious "Masons Against The
Scottish Rite" simply disappeared. Typical....

And we must admit that we've found it supremely ironic
SO many of those who object to Freemasonry because they
believe it goes against Christianity will then resort to lies, deceit, fraud,
and all sorts of deception (often laced with filthy profanity) to prove just how much they love Jesus. Do they - or you -
think that
Jesus would approve of such tactics were He here today? We certainly don't!

At times, there seems to be no end to the foolishness that appears on the
internet - and those named on this page seem to us to be
the 'worst of the breed'!

Were we not concerned about keeping this site rated "G" so
that all might learn from it, we'd post some of the email we've received from
them and other anti-Masons. Pretty impressive the gutter language that they've managed to
learn, particularly when so many of them are trying to convince Masons that
their religious beliefs are so very strong!
